I'm falling way behind my plan, and with my W2 job becoming unbearable I want to accelerate my RE efforts. 

We try to go slow on purpose so we can listen more and give solid feedback.  

LTR is stable, slow, and risk is low but potentially not as much cash (right away).Comes down to what goals you have and your risk threshhold - I have friends in CO springs who do STR and MTR, and works out great - but also have folks who LTR in that area and it pays for them self and it a great way to save money in places like taxes and build equity.  

My approach is to slow my decision making on big moves given the market timing.

While the real estate market usually slows down this time of year, we are seeing a lot of buyers taking advantage of homes that have been sitting on the market longer.

Property owners can set up their property online in minutes, without agents, lawyers, or advisors slowing them down.

For the 10 year period spanning November 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9% in that period.With inflation nearing its 2% target and signs of a slowing labor market, The Federal Reserve recently made its third cut to the federal funds rate since the start of the COVID pandemic.

US population growth slows and fewer new households form, which is probably not great for RE investors; and 2. the Social Security trust fund runs out.  

I get the temptation to chill, but every time I think about slowing down, I remind myself of the future I want to create—for my family, for the people I’ll help through partnerships, and for the communities I’ll impact. 

I'm a very fast paced individual that is extremely schedule and results driven and if I have a customer that wants to provide all the materials I immediately run the other way because it's just going to slow me down.
